Java Servlets and JSP Tutorial For Beginners

It’s 2018, yet Java Servlets and JSPs are still a must know for Java developers.

Let me explain why having an understanding this core library and framework can benefit you, and why I decided to read Murach’s Java Servlets and JSP.

Many of today’s modern Java web frameworks are built on-top of the core Java Servlets API. Having a good understanding of the under lying technology gives you a great advantage knowing what is actually going on behind the scenes and ensuring you use the high level technology as required. This can help bring out optimisations and provide insight into why to use a framework, not to mention the ability to read its source code to see whats actually going on.

Also, tens of thousands of existing production applications are built using standard Java Servlets API, and many of these applications have legacy Java contractors supporting them. Having the ability to get productive fast by understanding the technology can be a great advantage if you want such a career.

Many modern developers don’t want to learn older technologies, so having the ability to work on all platforms provides you with a great advantage for employment.
